Pictures would be nice.
But are you aware that the Crank shaft timing Gear does have a shoulder and does have a correct orientation.
The trigger wheel also has a correct orientation.
Did you take picture before dis-assembly?
Should we assume this a 1997 GT? One of the questions/possibilities is that a different motor has been installed. IF this is a PI motor, we should expect problems if the timing set from a non-PI motor has been used. Again this is where pictures and head and block casting numbers could help.
No. It is the one that came with the new kit. The intake ports are square with an injector relief. I looked on the head and couldn't find the PI located on themThe 1999-2004 GT uses 4.6 SOHC PI heads. The intake ports are square'ish.
The 1996-1998 uses 4.6 SOHC non-PI heads. The intake ports are tear drop shaped.
Since you just had the heads re-worked, you should know which type (PI or non-PI) that you have. Not really possible to put this motor back together correctly without knowing this information.
The new crank timing gear does not appear to be stock. Is it "adjustable"?
I was wrong. Here's a pictureNo. It is the one that came with the new kit. The intake ports are square with an injector relief. I looked on the head and couldn't find the PI located on them
Not old ones. That's the new set. The factory crankshaft gear has some wear mainly rub marks from chain.You aren't going to find PI on the casting. Use google and look up the casting numbers that appear on the side of the head. As stated before the non-PI heads will have a tear drop shape. IF square'ish this is a PI head.
The picture looks like non-PI to me.
This really shouldn't be this hard as it should be straight forward. Where did you get the replacement parts from?
Are those the old chains in the picture? They look good.
It's really not that bad to re-use the gear especially if there really isn't any wear.
The factory ones are two piece. The aftermarket ones are one piece. I'm going to put the factory crank gears back onJust wondering. Did you time the motor yourself? Are the crank gears the two piece units? Did you position the off set shoulders to the inside as in the attached picture?
